Remove the old flooring. Use a floor scraper and start at one end of the floor, working your way out toward the door. Sweep up all debris. Vacuum to remove all dust and remaining dirt.
Create a template of the floor using paper and pencil. Tape large sections together if necessary. Measure the area of the floor with a tape measure. Area is length multiplied by the width. Purchase the correct amount of flooring and adhesive. The adhesive will tell you on the package how much area it will cover.
Lay the template over the linoleum and trace the pattern from the template onto the linoleum with a pencil. Cut out the linoleum along the pattern line.
Starting at the far side of the floor, cover the floor with the floor adhesive. Keep the trowel at an angle and apply the adhesive evenly in a circular motion. Work your way toward the entrance.
Gently fold the linoleum in half. Start at the entrance and work your way toward the back. Place the linoleum down on the adhesive and slowly spread it out toward the back of the area. Make sure the edges are secure.
Smooth the linoleum with a rubber or wooden roller. Remove all bumps and air pockets with the roller. Allow adhesive to dry for 24 hours before walking on the floor.
